A little perspective here on Nevada: (R)--41,000 (D)--10,500

With 90 and 95% of the votes tallied:

1. That's 10,500 delegates, not votes.

I heard total turnout was 100,000+.

[NMDemDist2]

no, it's not delegates, it's precincts isn't it? n/t

[papau]

4. votes equal 117k

[dsc]

2. The GOP numbers are votes while the D numbers are delegates

we had about 107k voters.

6. Not doubting you, I just have been trying to get the turnout numbers all day.

You are sure that the R's numbers are voters. I saw a thread saying Dem turnout was an impressive 100k+.

That's great if it is the case.

10. but that's not what it says on C-span

16. Thank you. Even if these numbers are not apples and oranges

someone needs to state what the parties are counting and the news sites are reproting.

3. That isn't right. MSNBC said more than 100,000 and in 04 it was 9,000

Someone must have dropped a "0"

[Yael]

17. I would find it VERY hard to believe that 50,000 people left a caucus

without going to another candidate.

How else is this explained?

[durrrty libby]

18. It is simply explained. The op's numbers for the dems were delegates

not attendees

5. Facts are a bitch.....

14. So be a part of the solution as opposed to a part of the problem

and explain the 40,000 and 10,000 that ABC is reporting -- what does that represent?

Their site says 'VOTES' not "DELEGATES" and as we know with unviables, people have the option of going home from a caucus without taking a second side.

7. I can't believe therer were 4 times more repugs caucusing then Dems, how could that be?

[NMDemDist2]

8. it isn't, the numbers I've heard are 117,000 Dems to 30,000 'pukes n/t

[gdaerin]

11. Oh ok, Thank god! Whew! I was worried there for a second! nt

[HughMoran]

12. It isn't true

Please read the responses before responding - there are lots and lots of posts here recently with bad information in the O/P.

You really need to do your own research too.

9. Reid is claiming 100,000 turnout

[featherman]

13. Not true... you're comparing apples to oranges

Dems had over 107,000 caucus participants

[Yael]

15. See post #14 -- that is what I am trying to understand

What is ABC reporting?
